My mind currently lives in two places

The academy tries to restrict the number of email newsletters sent out to one a week.  But this week is special as it is the start of the Basketball Elite Academy.  The image above is where my mind currently lives and I am wondering on a day like this why we live here.  Then my mind goes to the excitement to the fact the academy is growing and tonite we have the first session in the new Basketball Elite Academy

.


Tonight, January 8th, 2020, is the first Basketball Basic Shooting session from 7-9 pm at Ecole Canadienne-Francaise on Louise Avenue.  if you are willing to venture out in the snow, register to attend as Brad Schoenfeld is running the session.

This is my hero when it comes to Basketball. Who is yours?

New gym for 2020

In 2019 we found out we needed to seek a new home gym for the academy sessions and we will be working out of the Ecole Canadienne-Francaise on 2320 Louise Avenue.  Unless posted otherwise all basketball, and volleyball sessions will be at this school.  Enter through the west parking lot entrance, the doors will be open 15 minutes before a session.   Do not be late as the doors will be locked once a session starts.  If you are going to be late let me know and we can make arrangements to let you in.

Possible Snow Volleyball ball.

Possible Snow Volleyball ball.

While in Mexico for Christmas I found two of these balls in a department store, so I bought them and I will put them outside and see how hard they get in the cold.  It will be interesting if I find a ball we can use for our snow volleyball tournament in Mexico.   I am still seeking the Mikasa Snow Volleyball which is used for the Snow Volleyball world tour but until then maybe the Mexican snow volleyball will work.
